Bought these items at the show.

Vancouver (Washington state, not Canada) Centennial ? "North West Company" Beaver. Not sure if this is from 1924. Maybe. If so, it would qualify as a "so-called dollar" (39mm, aluminum - never looped, holed, or suspended) ? I don't recall seeing one like this before:

"Knight of the Road" / "The Unique Hobo" copper splasher. Struck on a relatively thick 34mm planchet. "DR" initials below portrait. I do not know who that is. This only cost $8 and I thought it was pretty neat (and possibly rare - I haven't seen any others):

1906 Franklin / Chicago Electrical Show souivenir. Copper, 38mm. I've seen a few of these before, usually in rough shape. This one is a lot nicer. I'm not sure why it isn't a listed (or unlisted) so-called dollar ? :

I collect Colorado exonumia, but not the "Good For" merchant tokens that much. But there are very few bi-metallics among those, so I liked this one:

1927 Baltimore & Ohio Railroad "Tom Thumb / Lord Baltimore" locomotives token. Bronze, 26mm. These are not particularly rare, but this one was nicer (and a bit cheaper) than most:

I did buy one actual US coin. 1934-D Winged Liberty Head dime, AU-58, somewhat proof-like, full bands (only $6):

I'd love to have that hobo. It sure is different. The bi-metallic one ain't bad, either.

Any bucktoothed coin is cool.

Great pieces Dan! I have and follow a number of those. I have the beaver.

For this particular piece, DR stands for Del Romines. I have a number of pieces and collect his work. I love his style.

Nice group of exonumia. The fun stuff to collect and pricing by gut.

How did any of you see a picture of this stuff ?

@dcarr nice variety of acquisitions. Sounds like you had a good day. Selling and buying in the same place. That beaver is very coo!. Peace Roy

I don't know that Beaver token. If I had to guess the date of issue from the style I would guess 1955-1965. Might have been made as late as 1974 for the Sesquicentennial, but if so why not put that date on it as well?
